If an ASD cure was made would you use it?

Berlusconi

As the title says.

Yes I would!!! I just want to be normal and accepted in the world. Being ASD is tiring and not a lot of fun half the time. My time at school was awful from the start to end because I was singled out for being different, no one wanted to know me because of that difference and it's kind of like it in adulthood as well. I would give anything to change the way I am.

  • I don't fancy a massive leap into the unknown assuming a different version of "me" would be better than the current one. I'll keep my bipolar, dyslexia, alexithymia and autism thank you. I'm comfortable with myself and all my differences even if they make certain things harder. Being NT might have all sorts of problems I don't even know about and the change could turn me into a right ***...

    I'd quite like to get rid of my tinnitus though.

    School is an unpleasant and difficult for lots of people, NT or ND. Adulthood is slightly different in that you have more power to change things. Focus on what you can do and are good at, and maybe things will improve.
